Had to wait till I saw both transfers before writing an opinion. First: what a great deal! I got these blu-ray movies for $10 at Wal-Mart. So, I had little to lose.

It's been so long since I'd seen the movies that I'd forgotten what was going to happen, and it was like watching them for the first time.

The transfers on both were excellent. There were a few grainy scenes in Dirty Harry, but I think it was the darkness of the scenes, and there are a bunch of those in Dirty Harry. I didn't notice any grainy scenes in Magnum Force at all.

As a musician, I was very interested in the audio. I went back and forth between 5.1 and True Dolby. There was a super difference in quality. The highs were more evident, and the lows became clearer, cleaner, and smooth. Great jazz soundtrack for Dirty Harry. Wonderful drumming (both with sticks and brushes).

Loved seeing some stars who became individual stars, David Soul for one. Robert Urich and Tim Matheson for others. You won't be disappointed for getting these films in a blu-ray package at a great price.

The rating is for the value along with the excellent picture and sound quality. You like these films or you don't, that is up to you. But if you love them like I do, these editions are the best way to get them. They save shelf space and if you shop around you will find even better deals then seen here. The best buy(hint) I found was these two films along with the other double pack with "The Enforcer" and "Sudden Impact" for $20. That's only $5 per blu ray. They aren't stripped of their special features either. So you miss nothing. Collecting doesn't come any cheaper.

"Dirty Harry" and "Magnum Force" are arguably the two best Dirty Harry flicks, although fans can argue about this endlessly. This double feature is too good to pass up and for the price is an outrageous bargain. The mastering/remastering here is very good, and fans will like having a Blu-Ray copy of these films in the library. "Dirty Harry" is a classic "Good versus Evil" film (has any villain ever been more evil than the villain in this film?) while Magnum Force, by contrast, warns of vigilantism and the danger of cops taking the law into their own hands. Messages aside, these are excellent, fast-paced films that entertain with humor, violence, and Eastwood's best acting ever. Highly recommended. RJB.

This is a must have for Dirty Harry fans. The picture and sound are awsome,and lets not forget the low price,what more could you possibly ask for? Well I guess free would be one of the things I could ask for,but that will never happen.

I love it.
Thank you.

This double feature blu-ray set is the cost effective way to add old movies to your library. I like that there is a disk for each movie. Some older DVD movie double-feature sets have a movie on each side of a single disk. Having separate disks is much better. "Dirty Harry" movies are classics. If you were expecting a review of the film, there are plenty of those to Google.

If you remember these movies from anywhere, you'll get a new visual experiance with this BluRay DVD. I highly recommend this DVD. Sounds and sights are excellent...!

Don't listen to people about double dipping. This is a great deal. Dirty Harry alone on Blu-ray is about $23.00, and Magnum Force isn't even available individually (it's only available in the Dirty Harry Box Set). Magnum Force is the best sequel, and it's great that you only have to pay less than $9.00 for it in this double feature pack. It's literally two of the best Dirty Harry films for the price of one film (actually, even less than one film, as Dirty Harry alone costs said $23.00 in that horrible blu-ray book). This packaging is much more compact and storable compared to the blu-ray books that Warner issues. The only reason Warner makes the blu-ray books is to justify a higher price and some completely forgettable booklet that you can't even remove from the blu-ray book. Buy it if you're a Dirty Harry fan.
